Mack and Myer, LLP, a law firm, is considering the replacement of its old accounting system with new software that should save $10,000 per year in net cash operating costs. The old system has zero disposal value, but it could be used for the next 5 years. The estimated useful life of the new software is 5 years with zero salvage value, and it will cost $40,000. The required rate of return is 14%. (Click the icon to view the present value factor table.) Read the reguirements Requirement 1. What is the payback period?
